Plant root exudates serve pivotal roles in supporting plant development and interactions with
the physicochemical and biological factors in the rhizosphere. Under stress conditions, root …

Industrial revolution brought prodigious encroachment on agricultural productivity but at
apparent environmental costs. One of the major unfortunate consequences of …

Aluminum (Al) toxicity in acid soils is a significant limitation to crop production worldwide, as
approximately 50% of the world's potentially arable soil is acidic. Because acid soils are …

Aluminum (Al) precipitates in acidic soils having a pH< 5.5, in the form of conjugated organic
and inorganic ions. Al-containing minerals solubilized in the soil solution cause several …

This review focuses on recent advances in some key areas of wheat physiology, namely
phasic development, determination of potential yield and water-limited potential yield …

Breeding for drought tolerance in grain crops is not a generic issue. Periods of drought vary
in length, timing and intensity and different traits are important with different types of drought …

Abstract Toxic aluminum ions (Al3+) found in acidic soils are absorbed by plants and interact
with multiple sites during plant development, affecting especially the root growth. The …

Trivalent aluminium (Al 3+) is the major toxin encountered by plants on acid soils. These
cations inhibit root growth by damaging cells at the root apex. The physiology and genetics …

Acid soils restrict plant production around the world. One of the major limitations to plant
growth on acid soils is the prevalence of soluble aluminium (Al3+) ions which can inhibit root …
